Overview

About the Author Maria Anton is English but has a passion for France and its language. Several years ago, recovering from a severe emotional breakdown, she bought a tiny Parisian apartment on the spur of the moment, a decision that radically changed her life. Description Buying a property is complicated and harrowing at the best of times. Buying one overseas, with unfamiliar bureaucratic procedures to deal with (not to mention the plumbing!), can be terrifyingly traumatic. But factor in a hyperactive daughter who works in Paris and needs a permanent roof over her head, an apartment that requires a huge amount of loving attention to make it habitable and an ever-demanding bladder - and you have the makings of a major crisis. Throw in a husband who doesn't understand either the French or their language, a plumber with more than water pipes on his mind, and an opinionated Frenchman who organises everyone around him. Set them all against the backdrop of one of the world's most exciting and wonderful cities. Tell your story with a liberal sprinkling of humour and what you get is this book. It's enough to send anyone In Seine!
